MONROE, Wis. — Residents displaced by the investigation into the officer-involved shooting near 1007 12th St. have been allowed back to the area, Monroe police announced today.

A Green County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a 25-year-old Hispanic man from Monroe about 7:40 p.m. Wednesday after he pointed a handgun at police officers, according to a news release from the Monroe Police Department. Monroe police and Green County deputies had responded to the area about 20 minutes after a gunman had killed a 40-year-old Hispanic man and seriously injured a 32-year-old Hispanic man about seven blocks away at a trailer at 702 17th St., the news release stated.

The man on 12th Street matched the description of the suspect in the homicide call and was covered in blood, the news release stated. Deputies ordered him to drop the handgun, but he pointed it at deputies so they opened fire. He was pronounced dead at Monroe Clinic Hospital.

The Green County Coroner's Office has not released the name of the deceased, pending further investigation. The crime scene at 702 17th St. remained isolated this afternoon, but no residents were displaced there.
